I am pretty sure that Sophia's fifth birthday was a hit! Here's a quick snapshot of her helping me bake the pony shaped sugar cookies we served as guests arrived.I feel so lucky that she enjoys baking with me.

As for teens in the house, it doesn't feel quite as effortless. They seem to only want my time to drive them around town and as much cash as I am willing or able to shell out.

As for other summer parties-this weekend is our Homemade Limoncello Tasting and Barbecue.

It's been very strange on Cape Cod lately. We will be blessed with one gorgeous summer sunny day and then have five or six straight days of either rain, clouds or cooler temperatures!

This doesn't seem possible but we haven't even spent a day at the beach this season yet.

On Friday I made a chocolate decadence cake with sweet cream for a friend's mother's 80Th birthday! It's a cake that you really can't go wrong with it. You start by melting chocolate and whip it into softened butter and white sugar.I topped it with a mini whale shaped cake dipped in white chocolate for decorative effect. She called to say they LOVED it!As for pony's-my youngest turns five this month. She and I have been planning her birthday party and a pony is set to arrive at our house. I also found a pony pinata and a pony craft too.Naturally, as a baker I searched for and found pony shaped cookie cutters.If you know Sophia you will understand why we chose purple and pink colored sugar to dip the pony cookies.

Happy You Stopped By!

... Go grab a cup of fresh hot coffee, a slice of banana bread or a maple brown sugar scone and hang out for a bit! You can read old posts, look up recipes, add a comment or share a recipe of your own and you can even listen to some jazz music...
